Method
Glass Preparation
Pour kosher salt onto a small plate. Rub the lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass, then dip the rim into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.
Cocktail Assembly & Shaking
Measure and combine
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Hornitos Plata Tequila, 1 oz triple sec, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup (or agave).
Add chosen flavor
Add 1 oz of your chosen purée (strawberry or peach) to the shaker. If you prefer the classic lime version, add no purée — you may add an extra 0.25 oz simple syrup if you like it slightly sweeter.
Add ice and shake
Add enough ice to nearly fill the shaker (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted.
Strain and serve
Fill the salted glass with fresh ice (if serving on the rocks). Double strain the cocktail into the prepared glass using a cocktail strainer and (optional) a fine mesh strainer to catch any seeds or pulp from purées.
Garnish & Finish
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim or floated on top. Serve immediately.
